1. BRAZILIAN WORK PERMIT APPLICATION
5Causes of rejection

2. 1) Lack of school or academic qualifications
The foreign worker must have at least nine years of schooling, not forgetting the
skilled labor whose practice involves specific academic education.

3. 2) Lack of work experience
The foreign worker must possess professional experience in similar functions.
Depending on the situation, the required experience lenght may vary from 1 to 3
years. There are, however, some exceptions and circumstances of exemption.

4. 3) Lack of justification for hiring
Brazilian law explicitly admits the purpose of protecting the domestic worker, so
hiring a foreign worker must be justified in order to be shown that you are not
neglecting a possible Brazilian candidate with equivalent profile.

5. 4) Lack of brazilian employees
The Brazilian labor law establishes the rule of proportionality between Brazilian and
foreign workers, according to which, except for special cases and exceptions, for
each foreign employee must have two Brazilians in the same company or
establishment.

6. 5) Low wage
In the wake of the protection of the domestic labor force, the Ministry of Labor and
Employment believes that the low wage to be paid to the foreign worker configures
a situation of Brazilian manpower replacement.
